PLS HELP DUE IN 1 HOUR

write the expression using positive exponents
1/3^-5

Answer 1

Answer: 3^5

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule used is
`\left((a)/(b)\right)^(-c) = \left((b)/(a)\right)^(c)`

That rule says to go from a negative exponent to a positive exponent, we apply the reciprocal of the fraction.

So,

`\left((1)/(3)\right)^(-5) = \left((3)/(1)\right)^(5) = 3^5`
